We do not have to join the ranks of despair in these challenging times. We have a choice. As Loeb says, “History is not ended, the future is not foreclosed, there are things we can do even if we can’t quite see the path.” He encourages us to find what has meaning for us and take a stand. Only when we step up can our efforts ripple out and have an influence on the arc of time towards peace, justice, and sustainability. This conversation is filled with inspiring examples of people taking both small and large steps in making a positive difference. He regales us with examples of those who have thrown themselves into the breach and contributed to positive social and political change. (hosted by Justine Willis Toms)
